    Ep 50: CLIENT perspective: What it's like to work with me

    Lauren and I recently worked together and she talks openly and candidly about her business. Potential clients were asking the same question over and over and I worked with her so she was prepared to confidently answer that at any time. This information has also helped her pre-qualify future clients so…much…better!
    Listen in as Lauren talks about her business and experience working with me and how that has helped her confidently understand who is, and who is not, her perfect future client.

    Entering a room full of strangers makes most interior designers cringe.

    Ep 46: Tracking leads = better future projects!

    Are you tracking your opportunities? So many designers know they get their jobs from referrals but do you know:
    Who is your best lead source?How long is the process from initial contact to a Yes or No answer?What's your close rate?How much is your average client/project worth?In this recording of my weekly live on IG, I talk about the importance of capturing this info, even on the jobs you don't get!
    It's going to make you much more informed on what a quality project looks to you and how to plan for the ebb and flow of leads.
